Diaries of Ireland

Angebote / Angebote:

This is a treasure-trove of revealing episodes about things high and low in Ireland since the 1590's. Here is Ireland's past distilled -- poignant personal narratives and privileged moments, human behavior recorded in its infinite variety, voices overheard, from the known (John Wesley James Stephens, Lady Gregory) and the unknown. In these thirty-eight extracts, some previously unpublished, Elizabethan adventurers, fops, soldiers, widows, reformers, poets, school masters, and literary lesbians seem to dance across years of Irish history. National events commingle with details of individual lives: births and deaths, food and clothing, religion and courtship. Diaries of Ireland is a rich feast for mind and imagination. Editor Melosina Lenox-Conyngham has provided an introduction and useful background headnotes for each selection.
